Hello, Thanks for the query.
Madam looking at your height and weight, with a BMI of 33.2 kgs/Sq meter, you are having an excess of over 25 kgs. This can be the culprit for not being able to control the blood glucose.

If possible medically, get hip replacement surgery and control of diabetes by drugs, exercise and diet restrictions all togather.
